Value Collection MSPFI-1002500-100B Machine Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSPFI-1002500-100B is a 10-32 x 2.5-inch pan head machine screw with a slotted drive, manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish. It meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards for dimensional and mechanical consistency. The pan head profile provides a low-profile, broad bearing surface suitable for through-hole and clearance-hole fastening applications. Length is measured under the head. This fastener is installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors wherever a standard inch-series machine screw is required.

This screw is suited for light to medium-duty fastening in panels, enclosures, brackets, and equipment frames across residential and commercial applications. The zinc coating provides moderate corrosion resistance in typical indoor service environments. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted bit drivers, making it accessible with common hand tools and power tools alike.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series 10-32 machine screw for general mechanical fastening in panels, enclosures, and equipment frames where a pan head slotted fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit driver sized appropriately for the head recess to avoid cam-out and slot damage. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. De-energize any electrical panel or equipment before fastening hardware inside live enclosures, per NEC guidelines. Do not overtighten in thin sheet metal to avoid thread strip-out.
